Salve to take disqualified BJP MLAs fight to the SC

Not letting the Karnataka High Court’s verdict deter them, the 11 disqualified BJP MLAs have approached the Supreme Court against the High Court’s decision and have engaged former Solicitor General, Senior Counsel Harish Salve (pictured) to represent them. The MLAs have been running from pillar to post against their disqualification before the crucial trust vote faced by Karnataka’s Chief Minister B.S. Yedyurappa’s government last month. Just before the trust vote could begin, Speaker of the House, K.G. Bopaiah had dismissed the 11 BJP MLAs and 5 independent MLAs under the 10th Schedule of the Constitution, also known as the Anti-Defection Act.
